In the few years before I started my capstone project social justice problems and the wellbeing of people were prevalent on my mind. This is because I had been spending my life living in cities — Denver, Orlando, Beijing, and then Philadelphia — for about ten years straight, which made me aware of and witness a variety of human rights issues. This included poverty, lack of access to a good education, lack of access to affordable food, lack of access to affordable healthcare, racial inequality, gender inequality, and inequality based on disorders. When it was time to work on my capstone I had already participated in organized feeding the homeless events and I had created several projects related to human rights for my high school History and English classes. So I was very passionate about the subject and I had already gathered enough knowledge in the subject to prepare me for a related project. Living in Philadelphia in particular made me very conscious of a variety of people groups that were underappreciated or underrepresented in society, so I based my project on inquiring how to address these people and the existing community service projects that are helping them so everyday people can join them to make a difference for the greater good of society. As part of doing the work for the project I did research on the work of different community service projects and I collaborated with one organization by delivering meals to a senior center to elderly people stuck at home due to the pandemic.
For my senior capstone I created a documentary film highlighting community service projects and what they are doing to help different communities. This film was made with the intent of raising awareness of groups of underrepresented people and groups of essentail humans, to entice the viewers to finally get up and join the community service organizations to finally become proactive in serving their communities.

After finishing the project and having time to reflect, I realized, that I learned that the reason why the lower class people typically in the outskirts of cities. It turns out that the article says in the United States early years (as a country) the lower classes lived in the city outskirts but when the industrial age brought factories close to the centers of cities the upper classes started moving out to the outskirts. The new jobs in factories and urban sprawl started to draw the lower classes towards the center of the city. This helped me realize that now the majority of the lower class people are currently not in the city outskirts, like I originally thought, and are very close to the center of cities but have completely made it to the center. In addition I found out about a lot of community service organizations in Philadelphia that were new to me and I learned a lot more about the ones I already knew about.
Right now, I am not completely sure what the future holds for my film, but I do know that I will continue to share it with the people I know and the world through putting on YouTube so I can always be encouraging people to start serving there communities, uplifting disadvanteged people, and be an essentail human well after the Coronavirus pandemic.
For my capstone, I wanted to use the engineering skills I’ve learned over the years to create a product that has an impact on our communities. This came in the form of a drone that assists firefighters in high priority responses, specifically with intel gathering and communication before anyone arrives on site. It was important that I researched every aspect of this project including drone mechanics, drone modification, thermal imaging, and firefighting protocol. I made sure I was talking with experts in different fields such as the manufacturer of the drone I was planning on using, a photographer who flies drones for a living, and a fire marshal. The final product is a dual intel gathering and communication system connected to a drone with a modified thermal camera, giving firefighters the essential information they need before they show up one site. I created a detailed conceptual design for my project with the plan of completing it over the summer.

For my Capstone, I created an online Queer-Straight Alliance (QSA) at Science Leadership Academy, in addition to preparation for the QSA next year. My Capstone began with an inquiry question: How can school communities better support LGBTQ+ students? This question developed over time into another question: In what ways is technology instrumental in overcoming obstacles to connect a community? This Capstone has taken a winding path, with many twists, turns, relocations, and adjustments. The first of many obstacles this year was the asbestos crisis. While the relocation was jarring and unexpected, the online adaptation of school sparked a new vision of what the SLA QSA could be. I created an online SLA QSA, via Discord, a social media platform. Once school returned to being in a physical location, it was a time of adjustment, during which I had to rework many of the plans. From designing posters for the in-school meetings to doing the necessary write-ups for the online SLA QSA to be approved by a lawyer of the Philadelphia School District, I learned and experienced the steps required to overcome the obstacles that come with connecting a community in a time of turmoil. Each time the date and location of the first meeting were determined, there was another relocation. In the end, the online SLA QSA withstood the obstacles that the in-school meetings couldn’t. The final result was an online QSA, as well as a variety of materials that can be used next year, by the future QSA leaders.
